Asked 3/3/2008

Answer 1/1 - Submitted 3/3/2008

I have taken several online courses from various universities (real ones, not the "online only" ones)... and honestly I like most of them.

However, I think that skilled courses like computer application classes, specialized concept classes, are better online than BASICS... like History or English where class participation is very helpful. IE – I tried to take English Comp II online one semester and very simply could NOT follow the work. However, I passed all my application courses with flying colors.

I think you need to judge on a case by case basis, and avoid taking distance courses in subjects where class participation is usually helpful.
